It was a simple warning: “Don’t touch it.” But for Ryan, the temptation was too much. What he didn’t know was that his curiosity would lead him into a nightmare he could never escape.
-
The Forbidden Object: It all began with an old, dusty box found in the attic. Ryan’s grandfather had passed away recently, and the family was going through his belongings. Among the collection of antiques and forgotten treasures, one thing caught Ryan’s eye—a small, intricately carved wooden box. It looked ancient, and despite his parents’ repeated warnings to stay away from it, something about it felt... different. Almost alive.
-
Ignoring the Warning: Ryan had been told time and time again that the box was off-limits. No one in the family knew exactly where it came from, but they had all heard strange stories. Some whispered it was cursed, others claimed it was a relic of something far darker. But for Ryan, the allure was irresistible. One afternoon, when no one was around, he reached for it.
-
The Moment of No Return: As soon as his fingers touched the box, a cold, chilling sensation ran up his spine. It felt like the room had grown darker, as if the air had thickened. He shrugged it off as his imagination running wild, but the moment he lifted the lid, the world seemed to shift.
Inside, there was nothing but darkness. Not a black void, but an overwhelming, suffocating darkness that seemed to pulse and move. Suddenly, a sound—a low, guttural growl—filled the room, making Ryan’s heart race. In a panic, he slammed the lid shut, but the growl didn’t stop.
